SoapBox is a socially responsible personal care company with a mission to empower customers to make the world a better place through everyday, quality purchases. Every time someone buys one of our products, SoapBox donates either a bar of soap or a month of clean water to a person in need, both in homeless shelters and food pantries here in the United States and to various countries abroad. Our products are sold in Target, Whole Foods, HEB, Giant, Stop & Shop, and many more to come in 2016!

Our team is excited to work with people from all ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. We welcome diversity of life and experience. Passionate, excited people are encouraged to apply!

This is not a normal job. SoapBox is not a normal company and there is no formal training manual. Instead, we like to learn in the moment and roll with the punches. We work long hours and expect a lot from our team members, vendors, and partners. We’re looking for the type of person that has always wanted to be a part of a rapidly growing company that does genuine good in the world. Our team is seeking leaders who can learn quickly and take initiative. We are also looking for someone that can fit with and add to our strong company culture. Our team is quirky, hilarious, and downright ridiculous at times. We love to dream big and take risks and are looking for an intern who is up for a challenge.

We are looking for a social media/blogger relations intern to join us for Winter/Spring 2016, with the flexibility to balance a 30/40-hour work week with other commitments. The intern will gain hands-on experience in an established, scaling company and will have real and important responsibilities in the social media and digital marketing sector of our business.
